Winthrop has served as a mining and ranching centre in Washington’s Methow Valley since the late 19th century. The town stands where the Chewuch River meets the Methow River, on the drier eastern side of the North Cascades. In 1972, local business owners remade downtown with a 19th-century Western streetscape; boardwalks and false-front buildings still define its public character. The surrounding valley leads toward the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest and mountain routes through the North Cascades.
